    How is it a waste of money if a lot of people, including the author of the article, already have an nVidia GPU in their PC? Running locally has a lot of advantages - privacy, getti…

    EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway have huge government innovation funds. Unfortunately they are mostly given to manage to politicians who are loyal, but not very bright, and possibly cor…

    My guess is the battery will come with some sort of remotely controlled switch that disconnects the house from the grid, before the battery starts supplying power.

    This is an interesting idea and I wish you a good luck building a profitable business around it. Before starting to apply voltage to a home electric gird, I guess you need to disco…

    What do you think will happen with humans when there are a trillion agents with "god like AI" out there?

    Boeing has been very slow at raising salaries and contract rates in the last 15 years or so. That lead to a lot of the best engineers, managers and technicians leaving.

    SoC RAM let's the vendor abuse the user. The 8GB needed to go from 8GB to 16GB on a MacBook Air cost Apple less than $10, but it charges the customer extra $200 for it. Don't see h…
